dj koze-blume der nacht / rue burnout 12

On DJ Koze's debut Rue Burnout EP from his own Pampa label, he plays with finesse and sophistication, and implicitly understands the importance of subtlety, leading from dreamy and restrained parts to a noisy frenzy at the end. "Blume Der Nacht" starts with a looped piano solo from Arabian dodecaphony, interwoven with bangs of violin bows, piercing high-pitched strings, almost shrieking glissandi, deep angel chants and obsessive, sharp rhythms. It's very rare that you find house music this excitingly light-footed.
